Answer:

93.28%

Explanation:

To solve the percent yield we need to find theoretical yield:

<em>Percent yield = Actual Yield (452.78g) / Theoretical yield * 100</em>

<em />

Theoretical yield is obtained converting the mass of acetylene to moles and using the balanced equation determine the moles of CO₂ produced assuming a 100% of reaction:

<em>Moles acetylene (Molar mass: 26.04g/mol)</em>

143.6g C₂H₂ * (1mol / 26.04g) = 5.515 moles C₂H₂

<em>Moles CO₂:</em>

5.515 moles C₂H₂ * (4 moles CO₂ / 2mol C₂H₂) = 11.029moles CO₂

<em>Mass CO₂ (Molar mass: 44.01g/mol):</em>

11.029moles CO₂  * (44.01g / mol) = 485.39g CO₂ is theoretical yield

Percent yield is:

Percent yield = 452.78g / 485.39g * 100

= 93.28%

How many grams of Na2So4 would be formed if 0.75 moles of NaOH reacted?
Nata [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{53 g }}

Explanation:

You don't give the reaction, but we can get by just by balancing atoms of Na.

We know we will need the partially balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

M_r:                                 142.04  

             2NaOH + … ⟶ Na₂SO₄ + …  

n/mol:      0.75

1. Use the molar ratio of Na₂SO₄ to NaOH to calculate the moles of NaF.

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 0.75 mol NaOH × (1 mol Na₂SO₄/2 mol NaOH

= 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄

2. Use the molar mass of Na₂SO₄ to calculate the mass of Na₂SO₄.

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.375 mol Na₂SO₄ × (142.04 g Na₂SO₄/1 mol Na₂SO₄) = 53 g Na₂SO₄

The reaction produces \boxed{\text{53 g }} of Na₂SO₄.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for 4Li(s) + O_2 (g) to 2Li_2O(s).
Doss [256]
The reaction is:

<span>4Li(s) + O2 (g) = 2Li+  + 2O-2(s).

The oxidizing agent is the one that is being reduced which is oxygen  where the charge changed from neutral to -2 while the reducing agent is the on being oxidized which is lithium where the charge change from neutral to +1.</span>

What volume of propane (C3H8) is required to produce 165 liters of water according to the following reaction? (All gases are at
inna [77]

Answer:

We need 41.2 L of propane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of H2O = 165 L

Step 2:  The balanced equation

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2O

1 mol = 22.4 L

165 L = 7.37 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of propane

For 1 mol C3H8 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 4 moles H2O

For 7.37 moles H2O we need 7.37/4 = 1.84 moles propane

Step 5: Calculate volume of propane

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.84 moles = 41.2 L

We need 41.2 L of propane
